Your opinion is that your opinion doesn't matter because you're not the developer? 😆

Miyazaki personally designs the levels according to his specific vision of the experience.

So his vision for the experience is that only some people are worthy to play? I mean, it's allowed but it's not an opinion I'd personally go to bat for.

Worthy to play? He’s making something he finds fun. It’s not a statement on someone’s worth if they can’t also play it.

Worthy as in "having the time and capability to play it in the way he feels is correct". So if my carpal tunnel is acting up then I guess no game for me because I wouldn't be playing it the way he feels it should be played.

As I said, it's certainly an opinion one is allowed to hold. I don't have anything more positive than that to say about it.

Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

Rules (Click to Expand):

  1. Follow the Lemmy.world Rules - https://mastodon.world/about

  2. Be kind. No bullying, harassment, racism, sexism etc. against other users.

  3. No spam, illegal content, or NSFW content (no games with NSFW images/video).

  4. Please stay on topic, cRPG adjacent games or even JRPGs are fine. Try to include topics / games that have a strong roleplaying component to them.
